TTC a BOY, June Chit Chat Thread

[babyblessings]

Thank you chit chat, and thanks Bec. So disappointing, but as you say, longer on everything can only mean a better sway

We DTD 6am Monday after OPK at 6pm Sunday the previous night, now worried that may have tried too early as trying to combine Diet & Shettles style approach but now have pain in my ovaries 2 days after OPK (6pm Tuesday), does that mean I am now only ovulating so tried too early :-( In a way now will be happy if BFP so can perfect the attempt better next month!! Any advice appreciated.

having 'failed' this month, I am probably not a good one for advice, but-- I alot of people on this site really stand by the idea that timing (shettles) is not as important as diet etc (sorry shettles fans ;(). And I must tell you that BOTH DD's of mine were conceived right ontop of ovulation! I would say that 6am monday, 6am tuesday, 6 am wednesday AND 6 am thursday is a great attempt - remember that you want as much up there as possible, so you keep 'adding' to whats there! I would keep going til you get a negative OPK to be sure you catch that egg!!

Atomic replied to me in a PM saying that to sway girl, you need to be releasing everyday for up to a week, so four or 5 days in a row is fine. And I know that TTC5 who has a baby boy on the way mentioned she DTD right through her fertile period of +/-5 days (right TTC5?)
As a matter of interest, are you using pre-seed? meant to be great for swaying blue!

good luck!

Babyblessings thanks for the advice yes preseed purchased and used (thanks to advice on here) Previously was looking at using Bicarb of Soda however the drink gave me a headache and I decided not to douche - could not quite take the risk of burning down there infection etc!! :-)

Good advice on timing thanks.

It caught me by surpise the first OPK as it's been later the other cycles recently and then just jumbped forward again! Hard to plan everything to be perfect but all we can do is try our best!! I am sure as others have said BFN does mean you get more diet etc strength and I am sure it's best not to rush these things so will be holding out for you to get BFP soon, it's hard the more we think about all this baby business the more important / stressful it seems to be but I am now going to relax and hope for a BPF / BFN to give me more of a chance for perfection ;-) Good luck

Lots of blue baby dust to all :-)

Glad that you are both looking ok Bec and TTC5 -- fingers crossed all stays that way

Well, as for me - I guess this month was not our month. After 2 BFN a few days ago, AF arrived today :'-(

Oh bugger

[TTC5]

Ahh ok, so at what stage will they decide on that?

Not sure they have to play it by ear as anything could happen iykwim?

[Cinss]

babyblessings sorry about AF, she is such a pain

chitchat you can have O pains before during or after O, just to make it harder to pinpoint

PoP where are you girl? How was the movie the other day?

[chitchat123]

Thanks all for your advice and help. I have traces of blood this morning, c.60 hrs after OPK and c. 48 hrs after TTC - is that too early for implanation or maybe something not right / lost, certainly not usual mid cycle? Any advice appreciated. Will not get hopes up for BFP as quite happy to have another month to prepare etc but will be glad when can eat normally again ;-)

good luck all

That does sound a bit early for implantation to me, generally implantation happens 5 - 10 days after O. It could possibly have been an O bleed, i have read about that happening, and the timing would be spot on for that. Its nothing to worry about, good luck for a BFP

[TTC5]

Yes too early for implantation. Did you use baking soda?

[chitchat123]

TTC5 and Cinss thanks for your help, no I didn't used baking soda I was too afriad to ;-) I used preseed. Would you recommend baking soda?

No you dont need to use baking soda, TTC5 was asking because that may have caused a bleed, it can irritate your cervix.
